Site Preparation Guide
0706473 Revision B 2
Preparing for Your New Printer
Follow these guidelines to prepare your site for delivery of the printer.
Electrical Power
The required electric circuit must be installed by a qualified electrician before the printer can be installed
(see Table 2, “Specifications,” on page 6). The printer is supplied with the required power cord, which must
not be lengthened or attached to an extension cord.
The printer requires “three-phase power.” Three-phase power provides a more efficient means of supplying
large electrical loads than single-phase power, which is common in offices and homes.
•If three-phase power is supplied by your local electric utility to your facility, have a qualified elec-
trician install the receptacle specified in Table 2, “Specifications,” on page 6, to the three-phase
circuit that the printer will use.
•If single-phase power is supplied to your facility, purchase a phase converter to convert your
building’s single-phase power to three-phase power, and have it installed by a qualified electri-
cian prior to the printer’s installation date.
NOTE: Regardless of whether you are using utility-supplied three-phase power or a phase converter, the
printer requires power as specified in Table 2, “Specifications,” on page 6. Installation of the printer cannot
begin until power as specified is available.
For locations that receive 60 Hz electric service (such as the United States), the recommended phase con-
verter for the printer is:
“Phase Perfect” Digital Phase Converter Model DPC-A10

Phone to buy, or to find your local distributor: +1 866.250.7934 or +1 605.343.7934
By special arrangement with the manufacturer, you are eligible for a discounted price and technical support
on this product. To obtain the discount and support, mention that you will be using the converter with a
Hewlett-Packard printer.
With this phase converter, when the printer is installed, the printer’s power cord must be modified with a
new plug. To enable this, order part number CH242A (HP,SCITEX,FB900,PHASE_CONVERTER_PLUG,KIT)
for delivery prior to the printer installation date.
Compressed Air
The printer uses compressed air to raise and lower the media rollers and media alignment bar. Any com-
pressed air supply rated at 80-100 psi (5-7 bar) is sufficient for this purpose, for example: existing facility air
(shop air), or an inexpensive portable compressor with a 3 gallon (14 liter) capacity, which will deliver a
minimum of 2.5 SCFM @ 90 psi. The larger the reservoir on the compressor, the less frequently the compres-
sor will be required to run. The air supply is connected to the printer via 3/8 inch hose and 1/4 inch indus-
trial quick-connect coupling.
A portable air compressor can be located underneath the printer. If the loud sound emitted by the air com-
pressor pump is undesirable at your location, you can locate the compressor in an adjoining room, and
connect it to the printer with a hose of sufficient length.

Receiving the Printer
A fork lift truck with 45-inch (114 cm) forks and a receiving dock are required to receive the printer. Receiving
the printer at ground level is not practical. The shipping crate is designed for fork lift handling: it can be
pushed or pulled from the ends, or lifted from the sides as needed. After unpacking, the wood packaging
packs flat and should be returned to the factory.
Use the following dimensions and weights as you plan to receive and move the printer to its final location:
An Authorized Service Provider will install the printer. Depending on the space available at your location,
you can either unpack and assemble the printer in your receiving area, then move the printer on its wheels
to your production area, or move the shipping container unopened to your production area, and unpack
and assemble it there. A technical representative will work with you in advance to plan for receiving,
unpacking, and assembling the printer.
The printer must be installed on a flat and stable floor. During installation, the printer and media tables will
be leveled to ensure accurate media feeding.

Preparing for Your New Printer
The printer feet, cabinet casters, and table casters can be adjusted to compensate for a maximum floor
slope (elevation change) of 2.2 inches (5.6 cm) over the printer width of 180 inches (457 cm), and 2.0
inches (5.1 cm) over the printer depth of 118 inches (300 cm).
Space Requirements
Allow enough space around all sides of the printer to load and unload ink and media, and operate the con-
trol panel.
The rigid cut-sheet workflow requires some space planning for operator movement between the blank media
stock (pallets or tables), the printer when loading media, operating the printer, and unloading media. Cut
sheets are loaded from the Input Side of the printer.
The compressed air connection is on the Service End of the printer. The power cord (length 19.7 feet/6
meters) is also located at the Service End of the printer. For further details, see the diagrams below and the
dimensions shown in Table 2, “Specifications,” on page 6.
Ink and Media Handling
You will need an area near the printer to store media and ink, and to finish and package prints for shipment
or distribution. For best results, media and ink should be stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled
environment similar to the printer’s environment.
Rigid cut-sheet media should be stored flat and not stored for long periods before use. Any warping of this
media will increase the likelihood of the carriage striking it during printing, or media feed problems.
Due to the tendency of synthetic rigid media to build up an electrostatic charge, electrostatic discharge
(ESD) abatement measures such as raising the relative humidity in the room or draping copper grounding
tinsel over the stored media may be necessary.
UV Cure Ink is Perishable
Unlike other inks used in wide format printing, UV cure ink has a limited shelf life. Plan to rotate your ink
stock and use it promptly by the date printed on the ink box.

External RIP
The printer receives print jobs from an external RIP, such as the HP RIP Software or supported third-party RIP.
These software products require the purchase of server hardware that meets the requirements of the RIP. The
RIP software and server hardware must be available for installation with the printer.

system when it is necessary to remove power from the printer for service.
UPS — customer-supplied uninterruptable power supply, output 100-240 VAC, 50/
60 Hz, minimum of 15 watts of power, provides battery backup to the vacuum sys-
tem in the event of a power failure. UPS is connected to the electric wall outlet.

Safety Information
Safety Information
UV light — the ultraviolet (UV) curing lamps emit high power UV light. The printer must be oper-
ated with all safety shielding installed to protect the operator from eye and skin damage. When
operated according to manufacturer’s instructions, safety glasses or other protective clothing are
not necessary.
Mechanical hazards — Keep fingers away from carriage and media path. Use a fork lift truck to
lift the printer. Do not exceed the maximum weight load of the input or output tables, as printed on
the label.
Ink — read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
for the ink, and post the document in the work area as required by prevailing law. Avoid any con-
tact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Avoid breathing
vapors. Respirator protection may be required under exceptional circumstances when excessive
air contamination exists. None of the component substances have established exposure standards
per OSHA, NIOSH or ACGIH.
Electrical — WITH THE POWER SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION, POWER MAY STILL BE SUP-
PLIED TO THE PRINTER COMPONENTS. To completely cut power from the printer, you must
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Ozone — the high power UV light emitted by the curing lamps reacts with oxygen and produces
ozone. This formation tends to be greatest during lamp start-up. The printer should be operated in
a well-ventilated area to avoid minor effects such as headaches, fatigue, and dryness of the upper
respiratory tract. Normal air movement will mix the ozone with fresh air, causing it to revert back
to oxygen.
Hazardous waste — THE PRINTER ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A LITHIUM BATTERY
DEVICE. THERE IS A DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. The
battery must be replaced only by authorized service providers, and must be replaced only with the
same or equivalent type. Dispose of this lithium battery device in accordance with local, state (or
province), and Federal (or country) solid waste requirements.
Deutche
UV-Licht – die ultravioletthärtenden Lampen strahlen Hochleistungs-UV-Licht ab. Der Drucker muss
mit allen installierten Sicherheitsabschirmungen betrieben werden, um den Bediener vor Augen-
und Hautschäden zu schützen. Sicherheitsbrillen oder andere Schutzkleidung ist nicht erforderlich,
wenn gemäß den Herstelleranweisungen gearbeitet wird.
Mechanische Risiken – Halten Sie die Finger fern vom Laufwagen und von der Medienzuführung.
Überschreiten Sie nicht die maximale Gewichtsauslastung der Eingabe- oder Ausgabetische, die
auf dem Etikett aufdruckt sind.
Tinte – lesen und beachten Sie die Sicherheitsrichtlinien, wie sie im Material- Sicherheitsdatenblatt
(MSDS) für die Tinte dargestellt sind und bringen Sie das Dokument, wie von der aktuellen
Rechtsprechung gefordert, im Arbeitsbereich an. Vermeiden Sie jeden Kontakt mit Haut und
Augen. Stellen Sie ausreichende generelle und lokale Absaugvorrichtungen bereit. Vermeiden Sie
das Einatmen von Dämpfen. Eine Atemschutzmaske könnte unter außergewöhnlichen Umständen,
wenn erhöhte Luftverschmutzung besteht, erfoderlich sein. Keine der Bestandteile haben Gefahren-
standards nach OSHA, NIOSH oder ACGIH etabliert.
Ozon – das Hochleistungs-UV-Licht, das von den Aushärtungslampen abgegeben wird, reagiert
mit Sauerstoff und produziert Ozon. Diese Entwicklung ist am größten, während die Lampe hoch-
gefahren wird. Der Drucker sollte in einem gut gelüftetem Umfeld betrieben werden, um geringfü-
gige Auswirkungen, wie Kopfschmerzen, Müdigkeit und Austrocknen der oberen Atemwege zu
